Why is today’s world SO BUSY?
We keep hearing people complaining that their life has become so hectic.
They say they have no time to spend on what they really like to do.
As a boy growing up in Bangalore, India, I never heard my parents complaining like this.
Once my dad came back home from work, it seemed like he had all the time in the world to spend with us. He never said he was stressed at work, and he never said he had to work overtime on weekends.
So what has changed now?
Why is everyone talking about ‘balancing work and life’?
Give it a minute’s thought and you will realize that the main change has been “technology”.
But of course, the ever-evolving technology sector has helped mankind achieve what it couldn’t before.
Man has gone to the moon and back, and now Man is thinking of setting up homes on Mars- things which were unthinkable a short while ago.

Whenever we start out online, we don’t know much about online etiquette. By the time we learn about what to do and what not to do with our online profiles, we end up making silly mistakes which might not be so good for our future public personas. Remember the days of Myspace when we used to be silly with our bios or we would share too much information. It would be nice to go back and get rid of those online profiles. Nowadays, sites like Myspace are largely out of the picture, but they still exist, and your old profile still exists too. Many people might not bother with these dead social networking sites, but if someone stumbles across an old profile that you’ve forgotten about, it could lead them to gather some of your sensitive personal information. It’s always better to delete these old profiles.

There’s something to be said for a 9-5 in terms of time management. Now, before you start emptying water jugs and throwing toner cartridges at me, hear me out.
In an office full of cubicles, memos, and staff meetings, someone else is ultimately in charge of your time. There’s a schedule for breaks and time off, and the amount of time you spend on social media is surely being policed in one way or another.
None of this is ideal; I understand that. But it does take a good load of the responsibility off of your shoulders.
As a freelancer, you get to set the alarm clock for whatever time you want in the morning. You’re in charge of your vacations, and you are the one who decides when it’s lunch time. But on top of that, you are also the person who has to set and meet deadlines instead of watching half a day’s worth of cat videos.
Okay, so you want to watch 75 minutes of cats nonchalantly batting cups of coffee off of countertops? No problem, I do too, … [Read more...] about 11 Awesome Productivity Hacks and Time Management Tips

You are someone who is passionate and likes to do a lot of things. You have a job, study occasionally, and participate in different activities, from creating a presentation early in the morning to being the superhero who saves the city every night (it is a possibility).
In any case, in the end, we all come to the same problem point: There is so much to do, and we don’t know how to organize it all.
But fear not young padawan!
There are several apps that can help us, and I will recommend you a handful that are useful to me.
In my case, I needed my organization apps to fit into the following criteria:
They must be available for desktop and mobile because I normally switch between devices, so I can not afford to have this kind of platform obstacle.
They must solve the problems that normally affect my effectiveness, such as time, teamwork, and personal day-to-day schedule.
They must be functional, pleasing to the eye, and instantly easy to use.
With these criteria in mind, … [Read more...] about 3 Outstanding Tools To Be More Productive Every Day

Art wouldn’t succeed without business, and business wouldn’t succeed without art. The people who succeed in both endeavors all share some very similar traits:
Creativity. Courage to try new things. Understanding of humanity. Understanding of cultural relevance. Enough humility to receive and implement feedback.
Feedback is crucial for any artistic and/or business endeavor. Without feedback, we are simply projecting our self-identified genius onto the world. But the goal of any business or artistic endeavor is ultimately to serve the people. But if we don’t receive feedback from the people we’re supposed to be serving, we remain ignorant to the pathway that will lead to our success. After understanding the necessary role of feedback, we also need to adjust our attitude to allow feedback to adequately influence our decisions. If we don’t do this, we will think that everything we do is right and that our own personal feedback is all that matters.
